the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, TO en-
deavor to the suspension of the fourth

The reduction of internal revenue and

Proprietary Medicines no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers as well MS %reliev-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green
August Fiocer and Boschee's German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these rene
dies, thereby giving one-ffth more medi-
cine in the IS cent size. The august

Considering the strained relations

WAS to have contributed another name,
Georgiana. But Georgiana A~lexandrina
would have deprived the emperor of the
place of precedence, M "Alexandrina
Georgiana" would have derogated from
the claims of the name borne by the nc
tual king of England and all his Hano-
verian predecessors. The name Of the
queens mother was therefore substituted
for that of her uncle. In the
ment of the christening of the new born
princess she was called A~lexandrina Vic

Anglicized or Latinized into Victoria.

this matter, in conjunction with Charles
Greville and Lord Lyndhurst as represent

to the queen to choose afterward the name
umder which she should reign. Among
other absurd suggestions there was one
that she should be styled Elizabeth II.
The assumption apparently was that her
majesty was always to remain a maiden
queen, with perhaps Lord Melbourne for
her Leicester, Lord John Russell for her
Essex, and Sir John Campbell for her Sir
Francis Bacon. The fates happily have
otherwise determined. But it is
